Today likely marks the lowest number of child deaths in human history. @UNICEF’s latest data shows that the world’s most important number keeps falling. A quiet global miracle — almost never mentioned in the news. Thank you for tracking it, @UNICEFData.

Are you a science geek with an interest in public health? You probably imagine people like you know more about the future of global health than others… Watch me present some test results at 10:20 in Stockholm at the Nobel Week Dialogues today: svtplay.se/video/ePvVQGV/…

Avoid fluffy teaching about Sustainable Devolpment. Don’t bore your students with buzzwords! Instead, challenge them to take our free fact-tests and engage them in fact-driven debates. And ask them to test their parents…and discuss: Why are most people completely wrong about the state of the world! upgrader.gapminder.org/tg/ungoals

Are you suffering from the same stereotypes about the US as most Americans do? Take this quiz where the US public scores 4.9, but monkeys picking answers randomly would score 6 out of 18. upgrader.gapminder.org/t/united-states

Who saved 154 million lives over 50 years? @WHO Six lives per minute! The name of the hero: Immunisation Programs. Let's make sure this great example of global progress, this triumph of human collaboration, gets its deserved attention! who.int/news/item/24-0…

The public perception of #India is lagging decades behind the fast improvement. For example, the share of babies born in health facilities increased from around 52% in 2008 to around 89% by 2021. Test your misconceptions about India and other fast changing countries here: upgrader.gapminder.org/t/india/1667

Some things are worse than you think! The #Gaza Famine victims are 81% of global famine-risk-population. 0.57M in Gaza are in @theIPCinfo's category 5 out of 0.7M worldwide. But as most plp overestimate suffering, and think famine is common, they don't see: Gaza is extreme! Share.

Four out of five of the hungriest people anywhere in the world are in Gaza. As the conflict intensifies and the horror grows, we will continue to do our part. We will not give up. wfp.org/news/gaza-grap…
